Very good points. I especially second that it's about damn time for new business models..
Coming back to the question how they fight piracy, I know they do remove lots of links, my question is more directed to how and why they do it or don't.
Some artists/labels/studios still do the lawyer scheme in which they sue thousands of people and hope that a small percentage settles, which brings in a lot of additional revenue.
And this is also where individuals get hit with out-of-space lawsuits..
But they did seem to learn from it and try hard not to make press by suing 11 year olds who just downloaded 3 songs over $27Mio anymore.., so they don't focus on the casual downloader or the streamer who doesn't even know if the site is legitimate because it looks professional, but rather on the uploaders..,
but still, I'm really interested if there's an industry out there for this, because in my mind, every 20-something could tell them how to deal with piracy better than probably most of their lawyers or advisors.
I'd love to get in a conversation with one of those guys though and hear their points of view, also the artist's point of views..
